Peace Talks by Jim ButcherMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ahhhhhhhh. Six years since the last Dresden Files book, and look, Jim Butcher's finally got us fans really truly well fed with the promise of two full-length novels this year alone. Also, the promise of both of them being a pretty full-fledged duology within the series' greater scope - aptly titled with opposing names too, Peace Talks and Battle Ground. So yeah, let's be real, this book is setting up a lot of nasty, nasty crap to be resolved in its immediate successor, but fear not - Butcher's giving us the next book only two months after this one came out, perhaps to make up for the extremely long absence he's had since Skin Game. (To say nothing of the even longer wait we've had since the first book of The Cinder Spires - but hey, at least this isn't a Patrick Rothfuss or a George R.R. Martin situation going on here.) While it's pretty clear that this book is a Prolonged Prologue to Battle Ground, though...what's no laughing matter is the cliffhanger this one ends on. Damn, but that one hurt, right in the gut, Harry.
